Chile: Easter Island

Visit Us

EasterIsland (Rapa Nui) really is a unique place. Chilean territory but isolated in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, this tiny pimple of volcanic origin, first populated by Polynesians from the west, has become a mesmeric destination for visitors. Once densely forested and fertile, the rugged, hilly island supported a prosperous population which sculpted the island’s enigmatic moai, or giant stone heads. The landscape is now covered by rocky, treeless and unproductive grasslands, beautiful in its gaunt and haunting way, and the coast is defined by rocky coves and the occasional sparkling white beach.

What our experts say

The magic of Easter Island starts the moment you step off the plane: it feels incredibly remote. A favourite location of mine is Ahu Akivi where you can find seven moai facing out to sea (unlike the others, which face inland).

Visiting Easter Island was definitely our most memorable part. One of the main reasons for booking the holiday was to visit Easter Island and the hotel and tour guide were excellent. A fantastic experience.

Most memorable experience: "Standing on the rim of the volcano looking over Easter Island and realising it's total isolation in the middle of the ocean. The friendliness of the people and their often expressed appreciation of the fact that we had travelled so far to see them and to learn about their history and culture."

Very informed guides who were very good about providing conservation information. On Easter Island, continual reinforcement of respecting the moai supported with excellent reasons and background information. Experienced guides had a wealth of general knowledge - historical, cultural, political, which was explained in an interesting, stimulating way.

Easter Island was the focus of our trip and we were not disappointed. We loved that evocative unusual island with its unique history. We would have liked a full week there and would have included horse riding and cycling in our activities. We were lucky enough to see it wild and wet and stormy as well as calm and sunny and beautiful.

Easter Island was the focus of our trip and we were not disappointed. We loved that evocative unusual island with its unique history. We would have liked a full week there and would have included horse riding and cycling in our activities. We were lucky enough to see it wild and wet and stormy as well as calm and sunny and beautiful. Also - we had fantastic guides especially in Ecocamp and Easter Island - these men made our excursions so interesting with their wealth of specialist information and political, historical, anthropological and geological context - plus they were super nice personalities able to empathise with us and our children... We would have liked a few more days overall to enjoy the same itinerary but it worked well and we were glad Easter island was at the end of the trip not the beginning as originally requested. Really, you delivered everything we asked for.
